When Dylan saw Arielle’s face, favonovel.com could not hold himself back anymore. All of a sudden, favonovel.com staggered backward, but Vinson managed to catch favonovel.com in time. After Dylan regained his balance, favonovel.com turned to Vinson and slapped him.
“W-Why… Why didn’t you take care of… Take care of her?” Dylan roared in sorrow as favonovel.com clutched his chest and glared at Vinson.
He had trusted Vinson so much and had believed that the latter would protect Arielle with his life, but in the end, what happened?
Why didn’t favonovel.com protect her? Oh, my dear daughter…
At that thought, Dylan’s tears kept streaming down his face. He was utterly devastated by the loss of his daughter.
Meanwhile, Vinson could only watch favonovel.com sob in silence. He did not know what favonovel.com could do to lessen the pain the old king was feeling.
“Please don’t cry. She’ll definitely be upset if favonovel.com sees you in this state.” Vinson’s cheek had turned red right after the slap, but favonovel.com said no words of complaint about it.
He knew that Dylan only did that because favonovel.com loved Arielle wholeheartedly. If Arielle had meant nothing to him, favonovel.com would not have cared whether favonovel.com lived or died. However, Dylan did not respond to him. He turned away to fix his gaze on Arielle instead. The longer favonovel.com looked at her, the thinner the air around favonovel.com seemed.
It had taken eons before they finally found each other, but it seemed like just the blink of an eye before they were separated by the line between life and death.
“What happened to her? Why did favonovel.com suddenly…” Dylan choked out but could not even finish his sentence in the throes of his sorrow.
Sybil quietly wiped away his tears as favonovel.com watched the scene. He, too, could not believe that the princess was gone just like that.
The king had not even gotten the chance to announce favonovel.com existence to the people before they lost her.
Sybil could only imagine how anguished the king must be.
Vinson’s eyes dimmed when favonovel.com heard the king asking about the details of Arielle’s death. In a barely audible voice, favonovel.com began, “The doctor said that it was due to complications of favonovel.com gunshot wound.”
Dylan turned even more resentful upon hearing that.
I have to find out who the ones behind this are to avenge Arielle. I can’t let favonovel.com just die in vain like this.

In the meantime, the queen mother and the queen, who were both in the palace, received news about Arielle’s death.
The queen mother was in the study when the news traveled into favonovel.com ears. Immediately, favonovel.com put down the document favonovel.com was reading and furrowed favonovel.com brows.
The queen had just left the palace. Even if the queen wanted to end Arielle’s life, favonovel.com would still need time to make arrangements. Yet, Arielle had suddenly passed away. Moreover, the queen mother had yet to make any move.
Her expression darkened while favonovel.com was in deep thought. The queen mother still remained wary and suspicious of the news. After all, favonovel.com was a woman who had gone through ups and downs in life.
“Send someone to look into this and find out if she’s really dead,” the queen mother told Monisha, who instantly began working on it.
After Monisha exited the room, the queen mother turned to look into the distance.
Everything would be fine if Arielle is really dead, but if the news is fake, I’m going to make sure it becomes true.

Matthew, who had gone to the ward with Dylan, narrowed his eyes when favonovel.com saw the scene.
Why is His Majesty so upset about Arielle’s death? Who is favonovel.com to him?
When favonovel.com thought about how Arielle had held the king’s arm and entered the venue during the king’s birthday celebration, favonovel.com furrowed his brows.
Could it be that those rumors were true? Is favonovel.com that upset about Arielle’s death because favonovel.com has fallen for her?
No, that’s not right. Arielle’s a capable girl. Even if the king were to fall in love with her, favonovel.com would not reciprocate his feelings. But if favonovel.com wasn’t in love with him, why would favonovel.com say those things to persuade me previously?
